Vista / XP and video cards

by butkus . Updated 17 years, 4 months ago

Last year my W2K PC corrupted. I tried and stuck with Vista Business on a new MB (Dual C2 2.0 and new separate video card with 512K) and it was OK. Vista Performance gave the video a 1.2 rating, 4+ on all other. I did all the changes to make it faster including SP1. Video still at 1.1.
I happen to change the APG Aperture setting to the highest (256M) since I assume that has to do with any internal video card.
Zikes ! I now have a speedy Vista with a 5.0 video performance reading.
I made that change to two other XP computers (APG Aperture) and the overall performance has a noticable improvement, with separate video cards, then before with min. settings.
Am I wrong and the BIOS APG Aperture should be set high even with separate video cards ?
